I forgot to mention that I got a reply from Sony:
"Jane,

Thank you for the info. Good thing, my replacement card from the bank hasn't arrived yet or would have bought one already.
After the initial excitement died down, I did wonder about the rights. Hopefully, Amazon will look into this.

This book has been published illegally. The author has stolen the intellectual property of the creators of Starman. I¹m afraid I take a rather dim view of someone trying to make money out of theft.
I have found an email address for the licensing department at Sony, which now owns Colombia pictures and am notifying them. Hopefully, they will alert Amazon to breech of copyright and Amazon will take the book down. I tried to report it directly, but it requires the report to be from the copyright holder, which I am not.
Amazon will let you return an ebook to get your money back within a reasonable time (I think, 7 days). People may want to consider doing that.
